All products we sell are FSC or PEFC registered. What does this mean?
FSC is the only forest certification scheme endorsed by the major environmental Non-Government Organisations (NGOs), including WWF, Greenpeace and The Woodland Trust. In the “Forests and the European Union Resource Network” (FERN) report of 2004, eight forest certification schemes were assessed in which FSC emerged as the only scheme credible to NGOs.
This conclusion was drawn for numerous reasons including the observation that FSC is the only scheme that demands a truly performance-based minimum threshold for forest management practices before a national standard can be endorsed.
What does the FSC do?
- Prohibits the convertion of natural forests
- Prohibits the use of highly hazardous pesticides
- Prohibits the cultivation of genetically modified trees (GMOs)
- Respects the right of indigenous peoples Controls each certified operation at least once a year and if they are found not to comply, the certificate is withdrawn.
“It is evident that consumers trust the FSC label, and with good reason. For nearly twenty years the Forest Stewardship Council has been the most widely recognized forest certification system worldwide. The FSC label provides a powerful link between the responsible production and consumption of forest products, bringing together environmental, social, and economic interests in a balanced way to work towards sustainable solutions. In turn, consumers provide incentives for responsible forestry by buying FSC certified products.”

PEFC - Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification
As the world’s largest forest certification system, PEFC remains the certification system of choice for small, non-industrial private forests, with hundreds of thousands of family forest owners certified to comply with our internationally recognised Sustainability Benchmark.
PEFC emphasises a ‘bottom-up’ approach, whereby national certification systems are developed independently and come together under the umbrella of PEFC. Over 35 national schemes are endorsed by PEFC. To date, more than 16,000 companies have obtained PEFC Chain of Custody certification, offering tens of thousands of PEFC-certified products globally.
The forest ecosystem is highly complex, and influenced by numerous external factors. Similarly, different forest types in different regions of the world require different sustainable management strategies. This means that criteria for sustainable forest management must be constantly adapted to new circumstances. They must reflect the national context and the specific ecological and environmental conditions, as well as social, economic, political, cultural and spiritual dimensions.
“PEFC has spent almost 20 years promoting Sustainable Forest Management and creating a strong framework for the protection of the world’s forests and at the same time promoting a strong global timber market.”
